Pressure Cooker Red Wine Poached Pears are a show stopping but ultra simple dessert for special occasions!

Good morning friends! I’m in the throes of recipe testing for my upcoming KID FRIENDLY pressure cooker ebook for the next three weeks, so on Thursdays I’m pulling from my previous ebook to share some of my favorite recipes with you. To stick with this week’s dessert theme, these red wine poached pears are today’s share!

They look pretty ultra fancy, don’t they? That’s what I always thought until I made poached pears in my PC for the first time. If peeling a pear and then placing it in your pc with some wine and a few other ingredients sounds too complicated, just take a deep breath, read the instructions step by step, and do it! I have the greatest faith in you!
